Doing Run DMCs Bio took me back to my first few years in New York City, when I worked with The Fat Boys and was a witness to some of the early defining moments of Hip Hop. So I loved this show from the start, because most of the key players were willing to talk to us, and the show was very New York City-centric, which meant I didnt have to fly anywhere to do it. That was all v. good.
But the best part of doing Run DMC was the drama. Many shows require me to hype relatively small matters into big plot points, but Run DMC didnt need any hype. From alcoholism to drug abuse to mental illness to accusations of rape to career-threatening illnesses to murder to religious redemption, Run DMC had all the ingredients for good TV.
